Well, the behavior is already different, which is what this patch is
trying to mitigate.

In case of HTTP/1.x, a single buffer with headers is produced.

In case of HTTP/2, two buffers are produced: one with headers and one
empty with last_buf = 1.

Fair enough, I'll update patch to always allocate r->request_body.
